Introduction

Overview

The VE883 is a fiber-based extender designed to extend uncompressed 4K

signal up to 300 m (using VE883K1) or 10 km (using VE883K2) over duplex

fiber optic cables. The VE883 meets HDMI Specifications, including 3D, Deep

Color (up to 12 bit), and signaling rates (up to 10.2 Gb) to ensure superior

video quality. With ATEN’s exclusive FarSmooth technology, the VE883

prevents lagging and freezing by matching the output rates to the input rates,

and ensures that the video display is stable, smooth, and identical to the

source, particularly in long-distance extension applications where

uninterrupted video streams are required.

The VE883 features an HDMI input and output, analog audio input and output,

USB2.0, IR, RS-232 control port, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. For point-to-point

extension, the VE883 can receive fiber optic cables by inserting SFP+ modules

to its optic port.

To avoid bulky cable setup, the VE883 guarantees a simple and fast solution

for optimum transmission of Ethernet, IR, HDMI, RS-232

and USB signals up

to 10 km simply via a set of duplex optic fiber. The VE883 is also USB

transparent, making it compatible with a wide range of USB peripherals.

Engineered to meet the latest trend of lossless 4K and long distance signal

extension, VE883 is suitable for where long distance transmission is a must and

little interference is allowed, such as in traffic station and modern office

buildings.

VE883 User Manual

Note:



The maximum transmission distance may vary depending on the fiber type,

bandwidth, connector splicing, losses, model, chromatic dispersion,

environmental factor, and kinks.



For long distance transmissions, ATEN recommends using SFP+ modules

to allow compatibility with single or multi-mode fibers. Depending on the

chosen package (VE883K1 or VE883K2), different SFP+ modules are

supplied:



VE883K1: 10 Gbps/300m SFP+ Duplex Multi Mode Transceiver



VE883K2: 10 Gbps/10 km SFP+ Duplex Single Mode Transceiver



ATEN recommends using single-mode fibers that conform to IEC 11801

(OS1, OS1a, OS2), and using multi-mode fibers that conform to IEC 11801

(OM3, OM4).



The VE883 is a class 1 laser product that meets the safety regulations of

IEC/EN 60825-1 and 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations

pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007.
